Latin Adjective Charts
Our Challenge A class has moved on to studying Adjectives. I wrote a post describing how I am encouraging my Foundations/Essentials kids to copy the Latin charts so they will get ahead of the curve in Challenge A, making them feel more successful. In my class and online, I shared this FREE NOUN CHART, and now wanted to share the ADJECTIVE CHART with you in case you wanted to add a little to your Latin studies. Similar to nouns, Latin adjectives have declensions, though luckily there are … [Read more...]

Great Artists: A Solagratia Mom Resource Review & GIVEAWAY
One of the many things I love about Classical Conversations is the Fine Arts portion of the program. I love learning more about Great Artists and Composers. Recently, I finished reading "How Should We Then Live" by Francis Schaefer. It is on the Challenge level reading list and I am slowly trying to make my way through thier books ahead of my oldest who is 9 (that gives me some time, but there are a lot of books!). This book was phenomenal. Really. … [Read more...]

Digging Deeper into CC at Home
Living a half-an-hour away from a good library, I always want to dig deeper into our Classical Conversations (CC) topics from home with great living books, but it just never ends up being realistic (Or I end up with such big fees I could have purchased the books used online and kept them forever). So I tend to search for more information from home. There is a ton of information right within the Foundations Guide. If you have only flipped to the memory work sections, you are … [Read more...]
